QuickStart Tennis:

QuickStart Tennis is an exciting new play format designed to help kids ages 10 & under to learn and play the game by utilizing specialized equipment, shorter court dimensions and modified scoring, all tailored to age and size. This is a revolutionary change in the way kids 10 and under learn and play tennis, and your agency needs to be a part of it!

Like other popular youth sports, QuickStart stresses the importance of play and team competition. It's also now part of the USTA Jr. Team Tennis league and can be part of your existing programs, as well, which means that even more kids will have the opportunity to experience this new play format, have fun playing with their friends and develop skills that will become the foundation of their game. Get more kids on the court and keep them coming back!
